Michael Macks McCosh
I have had this business name for many years, ready to start using it finaly.
It all started with music in high school. As base player in band, I also endeavored to take care of the tech stuff, like sound and lights. I designed built a road worthy light show because, you know, every band needs lights to play on stage. From there I went on to building speaker systems, installing car audio, recording bands/music, and playing base/guitar.
I landed at TweeterEtc in retail sales at a time when audio and video were just coming together. The audio CD technology was introduced to the world while I was there. The iPod did not exist, neither did the cell phone. Then I discovered photography! I spent a considerable amount of time as a working pro doing portraits and youth sports teams. Owned a photography franchise called "The Sports Section" and was doing that when auto focus lenses first came out. Learning to shoot with auto focus was challenging at first but soon became second nature. Digital Photography started slowly with Kodak developing the first high quality digital capture system that attached to a Nikon camera. Getting a computer capable of displaying high quality photography was VERY expensive as personal computers were just starting to be a thing.
As I realized "production line photography" was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life I made a move to high tech, home automation first, then commercial A/V. With home automation products and a small PC, I created a christmas tree lighting system that had 4 dimmers that each had a different color light string. The tree would fade from color to color in a sort of random patern and it was the absolute best christmas decoration I have ever had. I was building and fixing computers and networks for small businesses, again self employed but not really making enough money. I was able to score a gig with a small commercial integration company where I did autoCAD system documentation and control system programming. Control System Programming became a life long year career that ended abruptly, last year. So now I start over, able to provide consulting services, problem solving with a vast array of knowledge and a wealth of experience able to tackle anything you can throw at me.
